aA CRAPLE SON ey)

   

 

     

Rock-a-by, birdies, upon the elim-tree,

Where the long limbs wave gently
and free ;

Tough as a bow-string, and drooping
and small,

Nothing can break them to give you
a fall:

Rock-a-by, birdies, along with the
breeze,

All the leaves over you humming
like bees ;

High away, low away, come again, go!

Go again, come again, rock-a-by-low !

Wonder how papa-bird braided that
nest,

Binding the twigs about close to his
breast ;

Wonder how many there are in your
bed,

Bonny swing-cradle hung far over-

j
head. é
